FAQ
What is the maximum distance this QSFP+ module supports?
This module supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) over single-mode fiber optic cable. This reach makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across campus buildings or data center facilities without requiring signal regeneration.
What type of connector does this optical module use?
It uses an MPO/MTP connector, which is a multi-fiber push-on/pull-off interface. This connector type is common in high-density optical environments, allowing multiple fibers to be connected simultaneously for efficient 40 Gbps transmission.
Is this module compatible with single-mode or multimode fiber?
This module is designed for single-mode fiber optic cable. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data over long distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for the 10 km reach supported by this transceiver.
What is the data transfer rate of this QSFP+ module?
The module has a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s per lane, with four lanes aggregated to deliver 40 Gbps total bandwidth. This performance aligns with the 40GBase-PLR4 standard for high-speed optical networking.
